Jack Yapp, VP National Lighting Contractors Association of America (NLCAA) a new non-profit organization explains – We are promoting hands on training along with classroom presentation on lighting control installation. We are in the process of having our curriculum accepted by the California Energy Commission to become Lighting Control Acceptance Test Technician Certified Provider. As of July 1, 2014 all construction projects, new and remodelled, must have mandatory lighting controls. They must have a State registered Acceptance Test Technician verify that the controls comply with the energy code standard.Click here for more information on how Niagara SI and Distributor Partners can acquire this new accreditation.

The President has called for a new Better Buildings Initiative that would reduce energy usage in commercial buildings by 20 percent over 10 years. This initiative would catalyze private sector investment to upgrade the efficiency of commercial buildings. Enhancing the current deduction for energy efficient commercial building property –which is primarily used by taxpayers constructing new buildings –and allowing a new deduction based on the energy savings performance of commercial building property installed in existing buildings would encourage private sector investments in energy efficiency improvements.

elitedali for Niagara DALI lighting solution delivered by one of South Africa’s leading Niagara System Integrators secures Green Rating ahead of expectation.
The new 65,000m2 building at 30 Baker Street has been awarded a five-star design rating by the Green Building Council of South Africa. A four-star rating was targeted and Standard Bank Group is still on track to achieve this in terms of the final “As Built” certification. The Rosebank building is due for completion in May 2013, which is when the first of approximately 5,000 client-facing staff will start to occupy the premises in a phased-in relocation process.Download the article

The Shard an 87 storey iconic building standing more than 309 metres tall officially opens today. It represents an £450M investment in the city of London creating a vertical city of multi-use space including hotel, restaurants, retail, office and apartments.

Delmatic, was chosen to deliver their lighting control solution to the main shell and core of the building which includes eNodeIV Lon/IP 852 Routers created by Adept Systems Inc and supplied by Control Network Solutions Ltd. These Lon/IP routers seamlessly create LonWorks® networks that extend across Ethernet infrastructure, offering maximum network performance in a very compact solution for the wide area networking of Delmatic’s LonWorks lighting solution.

This Niagara Forum 2013 presentation demonstrates with hard fact how “Convergence” is making an immense difference to those System Integrators who understand the need to broaden their skills and offerings to meet their business objectives, deal with emerging new threats to their business and finally deliver what the End Clients have been asking for over two decades and failing to get, until now!Download the Presentation

The world of smart building controls in terms of who delivers what and what it is they are delivering is changing fast. The world of convergent technology solutions will dominate and that convergence is driving business change from the End Clients to the Solution providers. Some will see this as a threat, others as an opportunity. The entrepreneurs in the System Integration industry will have a great opportunity to achieve what the IHS Report “Can you see the light” last year described as “Super Integrator status” creating significant growth in revenues and profits. Those that do not look above the parapet will be left chasing left over business with ever diminishing returns. Worth considering “Is Convergence Good for Business” article just last month. Further if the current System Integrators don’t develop their skills fast then they may find that the world of Electrical Contracting and traditional Lighting controls companies have to become yet another major threat to the old order.

Rebates and incentives offered by electric utilities and regional energy-efficiency organizations are currently enjoying a major upswing, providing a significant resource that can reduce the cost of investing in energy-efficient lighting.

According to the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), energy-efficiency rebate and incentive programs reached $6.8 billion in 2011, up 26% from 2010 ($5.4 billion) and 55% from 2009 ($4.4 billion). Utilities and other organizations now offer programs covering approximately 80% of the United States.

As we transition to more complex, higher performing, and energy efficient buildings, it is apparent that traditional building management systems are not up to the task of monitoring and managing today’s building operations. What are the shortcomings of the legacy BMS? The list is quite long but the major items include limited integration capabilities, inadequate and elementary analytic tools, proprietary programming languages, a dearth of software applications and legacy user interfaces.
